Thanks for the input. The problem turned out to be a subtle bug in my CI 
script. Probably a cut-n-paste thing. All is now well.

We very seldom change versions of OTP or Elixir, nor do our dependency versions change very often, yet we get into this situation a lot more often than I believe we should. If I could understand a little better about what makes a PLT old, perhaps I could solve this issue.
